Deidre O’Donnell, 45, also stopped by the drop-in and said: “I welcome anything that livens up the city centre and engages both visitors and residents alike.”

Senior lighting designer at Steensen Varming Linda Salamoun said the company welcomed the public’s response.

She said: “The feedback has been that people are happy to see the implementations in general, but it changes with the demographics.

“Some people want more interactive things and we’ve also had a session with people with disabilities, and it came up a lot that they just want more safety throughout the streets.

“What we’re trying to explain here is that by activating the different areas you can make spaces feel safer, but rather than make it a thoroughfare, get people to actually use the space and open up the city.”

She added: “There’s some beautiful locations in Aberdeen, we’re excited by the tiny lanes and areas that at the moment may be slightly forgotten, but by lighting them up there’s a lot more space that can be inspiring in the city.”
